Piano-Yoga® Retreat at Finchcocks

“With her positive, non-defeatist approach, she emphasises the joy and satisfaction of playing at any level…I would encourage any pianist, amateurs and professionals alike, to sign-up to one of GéNIA’s courses! ” Zoe Rahman, British Jazz Pianist, International Piano

Participants of this revolutionary course will spend three days with concert pianist GéNIA, who is also a qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher, exploring the Piano-Yoga® method through three interactive workshops, individual tuition and masterclasses. Together they will discover how piano technique develops through a deeper understanding of the body, including posture, alignment, movement, gravity, breathing and the effective use of the hands. The method also offers a carefully structured approach to developing strength, flexibility and control, while enabling pianists to increase their hand span safely.

Guests will also:

• Have the chance to play in and observe two performance masterclasses.

• Will receive a one-to-one lesson with GéNIA.

• Enjoy access to play on our 9 grand pianos anytime between 7am and 8pm. (There are enough pianos to go round that everyone can play a piano at any given time.)

• Experience a private accompanied talk for course participants in the main hall of the family home, performed by Maria.

• Join and socialise with a group 8 fellow piano enthusiasts during lunch and dinner.

• Dine in style with lunches and three course dinners prepared by our fabulous chef.

• Experience the Finchcocks bubble, hailed as a “paradise for pianists” by BBC Music Magazine and stay in a grade 1 listed country manor.
